Three years ago I started this series of oil paintings called “inner landscape”. They are photorealistic paintings of landscapes that resonate deeply with my feelings. When I paint them it’s like an opportunity for me to analyze, understand and release my emotions. 

Currently there are two of them. 

The first one is “Prelude”. It represents a black-and-white anguished forest full of flying crows, because when I painted it I was feeling confused and I felt that something, either good or bad, was going to happen.

The second one, which I made during quarantine, is called “Still”. This time it’s not a forest, but a frozen, almost motionless, Iceland landscape. Except it is not.

That’s because I realized that the sense of emptiness I was experiencing could not be really stationary, because at some level feelings are always in motion, always evolving, just like ice and water.
